 ===== Power jack =====
+{{:chumby:chumbypsp_med.jpg|}}
 The Hackerboard requires a **regulated 5VDC** power supply, positive tip, via a [[http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=CP-035D-ND|3.5mm OD, 1.4mm ID barrel jack]] (sometimes referred to as a 3.8mm or 4mm connector). [[http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=CP3-1003-ND|To connect you will need a matching plug, such as this]]. We suggest [[http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46&products_id=276|a regulated switching supply]] with over 1000mA output capability. The power required by the board itself is not that high (100mA? //check this//)  but if you plug in a Wifi dongle into the USB port, or an LCD into the LCD expansion port, the power required can easy climb to a 1000 mA. Since the connector is the same as those used in the PSP, you can use [[http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46&products_id=276|PSP power supplies and chargers]]!

+===== Connect =====
+{{http://www.ladyada.net/images/arduino/rebootdriver.jpg}}
+Plug in your FTDI cable, and install any drivers. See our instructions for driver installation for [[http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/lesson0-win.html|Windows]], [[http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/lesson0-mac.html|Mac]] and [[http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/lesson0-lin.html|Linux]]
+Once the driver is installed, verify the COM or tty port. For example, the COM port for our FTDI cable is COM34 (we have a lot of FTDI cables!). Open up a Serial Terminal program and connect to that COM or tty port at 115.2Kbps without hardware handshaking

+Connect a 5V regulated supply into the chumby and your FTDI cable so that the black wire lines up with the **GND** labeled pin
+{{:chumby:serialconnect.jpg?500|:chumby:serialconnect.jpg}}
+You should see the following on your terminal:
